New plants introduced (from Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Spring plant sale and Natural Gardener):
- Elbow bush
- Bee brush
- 2 Lantana
- 2 Black Foot Daisy
- 2 Verbena
- 1 Pink Primrose
- 1 Wine Cup
- 1 6-pack variety
- 1 Butterfly Bush (red/purple)
- 1 Datura
- 2 coral honeysuckle
- 1 Damianta
- 1 Indigo Spires
- 1 Crossvine
- 2 Butterfly Bush (with monarch caterpillars!)
Caretaker's note: This Butterfly Bush was purchased at the Natural Gardener Nursery and came with 2 monarch caterpillars already feeding on the plant. This way we introduced both the host plant for the monarch butterfly and at the same time, added monarch caterpillars to the land.
